Economic Problems in Saudi Arabia: a Study on Determinants of Economic Growth and Youth Unemployment. The current thesis analyzes the economic problems in Saudi Arabia with a special focus on economic growth and youth unemployment. The economic growth of Saudi Arabia is measured in terms of Gross Domestic Products (GDP) and Per Capita Gross Domestic Product (PCGDP), which are considered as two dependent variables in the research. Additionally, various economic factors such as Gross Capital Formation (GCF), Labor Force (LF), Human Component (HC), Oil price, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) are used as independent variables for identifying the reasons behind slow economic growth in Saudi Arabia. The research also includes a discussion on proposed models, choosing one under the basis of regression analysis. The current research indicates that the GDP of Saudi Arabia depends significantly on the rate of youth unemployment and the FDI. Therefore, it is evident that the economic issues in Saudi Arabia can be mitigated by reducing the rate of unemployment and increasing the FDI.
